Giveaway: Colette's Boutique: NOW CLOSED


Get excited, it’s time for another giveaway!  This week, our lovely giveaway sponsor is Colette from the Etsy Shop Colette’s boutique.  She is offering one lucky reader a $20 gift certificate to use in her shop.  You're going to love her stuff -- I'm especially fond of the beautiful turquoise jewelry she makes, if you can't tell by the pictures I'm sharing with you. Throughout this post, you can see several beautiful pieces of jewelry that you could potentially use the gift certificate towards, if luck is on your side this week.

Want to know a little more about Colette?  Here’s what she has to tell us about herself and her crafty endeavors:


I started making jewelry back in 2004 while I was unemployed. I saw a craft show on TV one day, and decided it would be nice for me to learn the basics and make myself some earrings... and the rest is history.  I get inspired by anything, like an iron gate, a design on a tile or a piece of fabric, or flowers. I just try to translate it into jewelry.   Right now, I am home with my 18 month-old son and my 7 year-old daughter. This keeps me quite busy, so whenever I have time, I try to create something.

I can't pick a favorite piece of jewelry, but one that I am particularly proud of is my woven dorje pendant. I had this idea for a while but was not quite sure how to make it come to life.  Then, one day, everything clicked and my version of the dorje was born.  I am hoping that one day I will have great success with my Etsy shop and my jewelry in general. That would be another accomplishment for me.
